This is the first painting he made when he could paint again. Pissarro lived in Louveciennes, southwest of Paris, straight in the path of the Prussian army. He fled to London with his family, leaving his house and 1,500 paintings behind. All his life. When he came back, soldiers had used his canvases as napkins and wrapping paper. Just because they needed something to wipe their hands on. Nothing personal.
